Life Gets Harder as You Get Older. Here's Why That's Actually Okay.

Robbie recorded this one the morning it dropped, hadn't slept great, had a big interview episode coming the following week, and just wanted to check in honestly. Every year since 2020 has felt harder than the last. He used to wonder if that was just him getting older and more pessimistic. Now he thinks it's just true — life gets more complex, more expensive, more demanding as you accumulate responsibilities. And that's not a complaint. It's just reality.Short episode. Real thoughts. The kind of check-in that reminds you the person behind the mic is in the same mud as you are.Topics covered: why every year seems harder than the last and whether that's perception or reality, how becoming a parent changed Robbie's empathy for people who struggle with the basic demands of adult life, why the fact that life gets harder doesn't mean it gets worse, a brief honest reflection on the year and what's ahead, and a preview of the interview episode dropping the following week.Send a message about the episode!
